Anglo-Saxon energy has fttimes been

The city of Wichita. Kan. is the most

SEA GULLS IN KANSAS.

The Sentinel mentions a flock of sea
gulls being seen flying over, and consider
ed it a strange significance. The editor
knows it is common thing every spring
for the gulls to come up from the Gulf of
Mexico during the heavy storms, and we
have seen them lowering about the bridges
at Wichita for days at a time.-Anthony

THE INTERSTATE.

The Infamous workings of the interstate
law costs little establishments like the
EAGLE one hundred and twenty five dollars
more per month for freight on white paper
alone than the old competing rate. The
only consolation offered us in answer to
cur appeal is the advice to move the
EAGLE to St. Louis or Chicago. We don't
propose to do any such thing. but we do
propose TO help make it uncomfortably
warm for somebody.

Senator Ingalls, and wife arrived in this
city yesterday. The senator spent a few
gals, and then with his wife took the
afternoon train for Wichita. None of our
